The artist Spencer Finch attempts the impossible to capture what is fleeting and to make permanent what is temporary. His work attempts to re-create through scientific means the sensory experience and the domain of the psyche – to depict the shadow of a cloud passing in the sky or the feel of the wind as it crosses a pond. Finch seeks to have his audience consider the way they perceive. In this SundayArts profile, learn about this artist’s process and projects – including his public pieces, one of which can be seen at New York’s High Line.
